The Sabah Deputy Chief Minister III said rumour-mongering, even worse, provocation and the spread of fake news will make the issue hotter, which will not do any good to the sport.“We in Sabah are shocked and saddened by the three incidents of attacks that should not have happened and we hope that this incident does not spread to other parts of the country, let’s just back off. I urge everyone to play a role in ensuring a positive atmosphere for our football.
Harimau Malaya winger Faisal Halim was reportedly attacked by an assailant with acid in a shopping centre in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya last Sunday and is undergoing treatment for fourth degree burns on his body and face.The shocking ambush was the second incident to befall a national footballer after Terengganu FC loan player Muhammad Akhyar Abdul Rashid was injured in the head and leg when he was attacked and robbed by two perpetrators in his residential area in Kuala Terengganu on May 2.
Meanwhile, Shahelmey said the Sabah home jersey for this season, which is called ‘Tagap’ in Sabah or ‘Tegap’ in Malay, maintains the red-white livery and hoped the jersey will give the Rhino squad a boost this season.
